Paramount has nabbed another comic property to add to their canon of adaptations and we’ve got all the info for you to dig on right here in its original form. No clones necessary. Those things are nothing but trouble.

THR reports that Paramount closing a deal for the rights to Insurrection, a Boom! Studios comic created by writer Blake Masters. He is also attached to pen the script. Producers Michael De Luca and Matt Tolmach are teaming up for the adaptation, which also will be produced by Boom!’s Ross Richie.

A sort of sci-fi “Spartacus”, Insurrection is a set in a future where corporations are more powerful than governments and command their own armies. The armies consist of clones who, for decades have been treated like a subclass. That all changes when one man stands up and leads a revolution that has vast repercussions.
